Packing a stellar cast with the likes of Brad Pitt, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Brian Tyree Henry, and Zazie Beetz, David Leitch's Bullet Train tells the story of an assassin for hire who bumps into multiple dangerous criminals aboard a high-speed Shinkansen trip from Tokyo to Kyoto. The 2022 action comedy is an adaptation of Kōtarō Isaka's novel "Maria Beetle".

Bullet Train is a laugh-a-minute action romp, packed with fun characters, electric fight choreography, and (on occasion) surprisingly earnest emotion.

Send confirmation emailWhile initially coming off as a cliche action film, Bullet Train works incredibly well thanks to its great fight scenes and clever writing that always leaves the viewer guessing where things will go. The story has a bit of a rushed ending, but anyone looking for a great action comedy would be remiss to pass it up.
David Leitch knows how to make an action scene shine, of course - he came from stunts and John Wick and such. But he lets his comedy chops show here as well, crafting a great heist of memorable characters and twists that are foreshadowed enough to feel satisfying. Definitely recommended watching, though I think Fall Guy is the superior movie. That said, it's like saying two scoops of ice cream is better than one scoop of ice cream - both are great.
Like it a bit less everytime I rewatch it. It drags a bit and and some of the jokes go on for two long. Still, this movie is a fun ride that features some great fight scenes. I didn't know where the movie was going to go, but I was down to go anywhere that it wanted to take me. Think Brad Pitt is really good in it. Amazing Channing Tatum cameo.
Released as a bit of a mixed bag at the time, Bullet Train has since grown a massive cult following over the years. Starring a stylish, full-of-action story from director David Leitch, the man who brought us John Wick and Deadpool 2, Bullet Train is a type of high-octane trip that doesn't appeal to very many people, but those it does appeal to, it actually does really enjoy this kind of thing.
Great movie. Excellent acting by Brad Pitt
A very middle-of-the-road action movie that tries too hard at times to feel "cool."
Certainly an enjoyable watch but nothing that needs to be revisited anytime soon.
